You will also be shocked when you see this connection between Ratan Tata, Nano, and Amitabh Bachchan.
Amitabh Bachchan Car Collection: Who doesn't know Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan? He has had good relations not only with film stars but also with businessmen and politicians. He is often seen talking about his special relationship with Dhirubhai Ambani, the father of Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani. But do you know that he also has a unique relationship with Ratan Tata of Tata Group and his dream project Tata Nano?
Ratan Tata's dream project was to provide safe cars to people at affordable prices. That's why he launched Tata Nano in 2008. He liked this car so much that during his retirement days, he was often seen traveling in this car. He launched this car at a price of just Rs 1 lakh.
When Amitabh bought Tata Nano
Not only common people but even Amitabh Bachchan became crazy about Ratan Tata's dream car. Amitabh Bachchan has no shortage of cars and his collection has many luxury cars. He has been fond of cars since his youth, but when the upgraded version of Tata Nano was launched in 2015, even Amitabh Bachchan could not stop himself from buying it.
According to media reports, Amitabh Bachchan was in Bengal when he came to know about the upgraded version of Tata Nano. He went to a showroom in Kolkata, inspected this car, and placed an order for 2 cars at once. He bought one red and one purple Nano.
It is said that he had bought this car for his granddaughter Navya Naveli. There is no updated information about whether this car is still in his collection or not.
Both of them love dogs
By the way, another special connection between Amitabh Bachchan and Ratan Tata is their love for dogs. Amitabh Bachchan has also had dogs at home since the beginning, while Ratan Tata had converted a part of his office Tata Sons into a dog creche. Ratan Tata has also made a lot of arrangements for his dogs in his will.
Ratan Tata got the idea of making Tata Nano when he saw a common Indian family travelling in the rain. This family comprising 2 adults and 2 children was travelling on a scooter and there was a risk of the scooter slipping in the rain. Then Ratan Tata got the idea of making a vehicle which could provide the safety of a car at the price almost equal to that of a scooter or bike.
